Egwene was under some forkroot when Silviana held her, but Silviana says that later in the night, when Egwene was to be shielded while asleep, one woman would do (the weaker one, Barasine, at that), but she wants more because she thinks Egwene is "tricky". Barasine is weaker than Amys, and I can bet my life on it. How is she supposed to hold Egwene then?
As for Semi, Caddy is talking about holding a shield made by linked women. With Egwene, the shield was woven by Katarine alone.

Silviana made them both go and shield her all night.

Prologue
Katerine and Barasine were startled to say the least at hearing Elaida’s plans for Egwene, and not best pleased to learn that they would be watching her and shielding her while she slept, although Silviana told them she would arrange for other sisters to come after an hour or two.
“Why both of us?” Katerine wanted to know, which earned her a wry glance from Barasine. If only one were sent, it surely would not be Katerine, who stood higher.
“Firstly, because I said so.” Silviana waited until the other two Reds nodded in acceptance. They did so with obvious reluctance, but not enough to make her wait long. She had not put on her shawl to come into the hallway, and in some odd fashion, she seemed the one out of place.
“And secondly, because this child is tricky, I think. I want her watched carefully awake or asleep. Which of you has her ring?”
Katerine and Barasine go on to Egwene's room with her and stay the night.
Even Leane has two guards at all times, even if only one is holding her shield.
